The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

Wei Chen escaped the encirclement of the ferocious beasts and fled to the meteorites on the outer edge of the Big Dipper Starfield, where he entered the Dao Talisman.

Within the small world of the Heavenly Evolution Array Diagram, the Earthly Venerable stared speechlessly at the talisman before him.

"Isn't this being a bit too cautious? Given the profound mysteries of the Dao talisman, no one in the primordial world could possibly predict it. Do you really need to go for double insurance?"

The Earthly Venerable murmured, his tone tinged with jealousy. He was not lacking in treasures; in his view, enough was enough. Therefore, since taking human form, he had been cultivating silently and had not gone out to search for treasures.

As a descendant of Pangu, he possesses great fortune and a prestigious position; he has everything one would expect.

In the primordial world, no treasure could attract him anymore; even innate treasures only slightly tempted him.

However, Wei Chen's innate Dao talisman really made him a little envious, as did that Heavenly Evolution Array Diagram.

Others may not understand the mysteries of these two treasures, perhaps even Wei Chen doesn't quite understand them, but the Earthly Venerable knows them very well.

If an exchange were possible, the Earthly Venerable would be willing to exchange one of the Chaos Spiritual Treasures for one of the Supreme Treasures.

"After he recovers from his injuries, we'll ask him if he's willing to make the exchange."

……

Wei Chen arrived near the mysterious sapling. The sapling was still the same, only a little over ten feet tall, rooted in the middle of a lake covering several square meters.

Wei Chen kept absorbing the lake water. Although this lake water was not the essence of creation, it was not much different.

These lakes are brimming with vitality, which is also beneficial to the Great Immortals.

one year later……

Wei Chen had transformed from an old man into a young man with waist-length purple hair. Apart from being somewhat pale, there was no other visible injury.

However, Wei Chen knew that he had burned his original essence and blood, which had damaged his Dao foundation. He wouldn't be able to recover for many eons.

Stepping out of the talisman, Wei Chen saw the Earthly Venerable sitting cross-legged on the flat grass, with a fruit in front of him, leisurely stretching out his hand...

Wei Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and he cried out urgently, "Stop..."

The Earthly Venerable remained unmoved, quickly grabbed the fruit, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Wei Chen stormed up to the Earthly Venerable and snatched the fruit from him. He roared, "You bastard, did you have to resort to such childish tricks?"

"Hehe!" The Earthly Venerable chuckled and said, "Want it?"

Wei Chen's face darkened, and he said with a gloomy expression, "You want to take advantage of my misfortune?"

“Not bad!” Earthly Venerable nodded frankly and said, “Ten fruits in exchange for your Heavenly Evolution Array Diagram.”

"Why don't you just rob it?" At this moment, Wei Chen really wanted to beat him up.

"You've suffered a Dao injury, and you won't recover in less than a few Yuanhui. If I'm not mistaken, you're probably planning to pull off a big heist, aren't you?" the Earthly Venerable said calmly.

Wei Chen took a deep breath and calmly said, "Give me back the Mountain-Catching Mace and the Eight Desolations Earth-Suppressing Pearl."

“Those are mine,” the Earthly Venerable laughed. “Twenty pieces, that’s my bottom line.”

"Heh..." Wei Chen sneered. "Didn't you say that to cultivate immortality, one must first escape wealth? Why are you eyeing my treasures now?"

The Earthly Venerable shook his head and said, "I know you've already dug the pit. With these twenty 'Purifying Spirit Restoration Fruits,' you can recover from your Dao injuries within a year. Then you can kill them all and obtain far more than just one or two top-grade innate spiritual treasures. This deal is worthwhile no matter how you look at it."

“If they’re so easy to kill, why don’t you go?” Wei Chen laughed angrily.

“They wouldn’t dare to hunt me down,” the Earthly Venerable shook his head and said, “You’re the most suitable person for this kind of killing and looting.”

"Then you can go and hunt them down! Why wait for others to hunt you down?"

Wei Chen also knew that people with high positions and great fortune would not be hunted down by anyone unless there was a major calamity. Otherwise, they would surely be stripped of their fortune and entangled in endless karma.

Of course, if a high-ranking deity is pursuing you beforehand, then you can injure the high-ranking deity; only in this way can you avoid incurring karmic consequences.

Just like when Wei Chen injured Luo Hou, Youming Huang, and Judge Cui, he will not be affected by any karma.

However, there is a prerequisite for this: you cannot steal their precious treasures that have led to their enlightenment.

Because you stole their supreme treasure for attaining enlightenment, how can they become saints and ancestors? How can they perfect the Heavenly Dao?

Therefore, this is something that Heaven will not allow.

"I'm not like you, who would do anything for a supreme treasure. You even dared to take the supreme treasure used by a primordial saint to prove his Dao, and you didn't even want to let go of Hongjun. You are truly audacious, I almost admire you!" the Earthly Venerable exclaimed.

"How did you know I wanted to steal Hongjun's treasure?" Wei Chen was puzzled and very curious. How did this guy know everything?

"Just a guess!" Earth Venerable glanced at Wei Chen and said, "You're so greedy, you even snatched the treasures of several saints, so you probably won't be any different from Hongjun."

After a pause, the Earthly Venerable changed his tone and angrily rebuked, "If it weren't for your unscrupulous plundering of other people's treasures, there wouldn't be so much trouble in the Primordial World. If it weren't for you, you bastard, disrupting the overall situation of the Primordial World, I would still be in seclusion right now. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, maybe no one in the Primordial World would even know I exist."

"Hehe!" Wei Chen chuckled awkwardly, realizing that he had indeed gone a bit too far.

"Forget it, it's done now, there's no point in arguing anymore." The Earthly Venerable sighed, "You better restrain yourself in the future and don't be too willful. Perhaps the innate treasures are of great importance to you now, but you will find that they are no different from trash in the future."

Upon hearing the first half of the Earthly Venerable's statement, Wei Chen was quite displeased, but upon hearing the second half, he was somewhat incredulous and asked, "How is that possible? Even saints covet innate treasures, how could such a precious treasure be useless?"

"We'll talk about this later. As for the conditions we just discussed, are you going to change them or not?" The Earthly Venerable waved his hand and said.

"No way!" Wei Chen shook his head and refused without even thinking.

Upon hearing this, the Earthly Venerable asked in surprise, "Why? Those fat sheep are not simple; they each possess at least one innate supreme treasure. Why didn't you exchange them?"

Wei Chen scoffed. "Don't think I don't know the potential of the Heavenly Evolution Array Diagram. You want to exchange it for twenty 'Purifying Spirit Restoration Fruits'? I think you're still dreaming."

"Are you really planning to give up those fat sheep?" the Earthly Venerable asked, puzzled. Knowing Wei Chen as he did, he shouldn't be giving up.

"Of course I won't let them go." Wei Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he said, "If you want to kill them, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why rush it?"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "You're exploiting me too much. I don't want to be taken advantage of."

The Earthly Venerable pondered for a moment and said, "Lend me three Yuanhui to comprehend, and I will give you ten."

"twenty!"

"eleven!"

"Fifteen, no less!" Wei Chen said impatiently.

"Give me fifteen spirit fruits of the same level, and I'll give you an even better treasure. And I'll be even more generous than you, giving you ten Yuanhui to comprehend," the Earthly Venerable said disdainfully.

What kind of existence is the "Purifying Spirit Rejuvenation Fruit"? Perhaps no one in the primordial world knew at all.

However, once you see the "Purifying Spirit Rejuvenation Fruit," even if you don't know what it is, you will definitely know how precious it is.

The Purifying Spirit Rejuvenating Fruit is a sacred object for nourishing the foundation and consolidating the essence. Even if the foundation of a Primordial Golden Immortal is severely damaged, it can be restored to its original state in a short time.

And that's not even the most important thing. The most miraculous aspect of the Purifying Spirit Rejuvenation Fruit is its ability to alter the origins of deities, making their foundation even more perfect. With enough consumption, transformation is even possible.

In short, it's safe to say that the "Pure Spirit Rejuvenation Fruit" is even more miraculous than Huang Zhongli.

Given the value of such a sacred object, let alone borrowing a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, if you were to exchange it with other powerful beings, you might be able to get two decent top-grade innate spiritual treasures in return!

How could it possibly be worth only the price offered by Weichen?

“I’ll add another ninth-grade blue lotus,” Wei Chen said.

The Earthly Venerable shook his head and said, "I don't lack lotus platforms. Of course, if you exchange them for a twelfth-grade green lotus, that would be fine."

Wei Chen's eyelids twitched, and he asked, "From what you're saying, you have many lotus platforms."

The Earthly Venerable extended one finger and said, "I only have one lotus platform."

"Take it out and let me see it quickly." Wei Chen was breathing rapidly.

This lotus platform must have been left by Pangu to the Earthly Venerable. Since it was given to him by Pangu, how could its level be low?

Without further ado, the Earthly Venerable opened his hand, and a blue lotus with eighteen petals spun rapidly in it, emitting a hazy blue light and exuding a Daoist aura.

"An eighteenth-grade green lotus? How is that possible?"

Wei Chen watched with envy and excitement, deeply shocked. The mere aura emanating from the Azure Lotus had already deepened his understanding of the Dao.

The Earthly Venerable put away the Azure Lotus and asked in return, "Why is it impossible?"

Wei Chen said urgently, "I am willing to exchange the Heavenly Evolution Array Diagram for this eighteenth-grade green lotus."

"Heh~" Earthly Venerable sneered: "Not enough, at least exchange it with your Dao talisman."

This is a top-tier innate treasure, not to mention the profound mysteries of the Great Dao it contains. Wei Chen actually wants to exchange it for a top-grade innate spiritual treasure; he must be crazy.

"The Dao Talisman is my life. If you want the Dao Talisman, you might as well kill me."

Wei Chen calmed down, but stared intently at the eighteenth-grade green lotus.

"Fine, then don't bother!" the Earthly Venerable said indifferently.

Wei Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "How many Pure Spirit Restoration Fruits do you have? If you have enough, lend me a few more."

The Earthly Venerable smiled but remained silent, waiting for Wei Chen to continue.

"Fine! Consider it a favor I owe you." Wei Chen sighed helplessly, knowing that this guy wouldn't give it to him without spending some money.

"That's more like it." The Earthly Venerable nodded in satisfaction and took out a box.

Wei Chen opened it and was overjoyed to find that there were actually twenty coins inside.

"Is this a Chaos Spiritual Root?"

“Not bad,” said the Earthly Venerable.

"How many Chaos Spiritual Roots do you still have?" Wei Chen asked, his eyes red. "What kind of world is the Primordial World? Is the Lotus Platform in the Primordial World transformed from the Thirty-Six Grade Green Lotus? And what exactly is the Pangu Axe?"
